DMPE Inc. of Stevensville, Michigan has opened its doors in Perth, Australia. DMPE’s mission is to service the needs of the many supercharged methanol burning customers in the growing sport of drag racing in Australia.
The obvious name of DMPE DU (Down Under) seemed appropriate for the adventure. Upon partnering with Adam Croker of Perth, WA the idea became a reality. In order to offer the Australian customers, the same quality of service and knowledge, it was in order to transplant Croker to the U.S. for training at DMPE Inc.
Croker spent a month in Michigan at DMPE Inc, and has undergone complete training with respect to servicing and repair of Rootes style superchargers, fuel systems and ignitions.
Croker states, “It was an intense undertaking to say the least. I wanted to come back to Australia with as much knowledge as possible. Darren and his great staff of employees have done a superb job teaching me all the vitals of proper servicing and repair to all types of roots superchargers and of course they are at my disposal if I ever need to be guided or assisted."
Not only will DMPE Down Under provide the needed supercharger service and repairs but also offer a complete parts stocking list for blown alcohol racers. Mayer stated, “We have worked with Australian racers in the past and are aware of the difficulties they face receiving quality parts, service and technical knowledge. We have trained Adam on repairing, servicing and modifying all types of Rootes superchargers intensively. We even built the needed specialty tooling and shipped it all to Adam to ensure the work is identical in quality as received from DMPE Inc. in the U.S.A."
DMPE DU will inventory items to assist racers needs and help reduce lead times on many desired parts. Items include NGK Spark Plugs, MSD Ignition, common ring and bearing packages, common rod and piston packages and much more.
DMPE DU will be based in Perth, WA, but will serve the entire country.

or log onto www.dmpeinc.com. Ed: wadragracing.com is proud to have DMPE Down Under aboard in support. WA has a reputation as a haven of strong supercharged racing so it is good to see such service popping up here. Adam Croker is certainly a man on a mission with this initiative and his 1953 Corvette Top Doorslammer, which will be one of the baddest cars out there, and THE baddest Rootes car for sure! |
